So far so good. Here's the current state of the fuselage. 60-90 g depending on print settings. I think I will go for strength on mine because it needs to handle extreme temperature changes in the arctic winter. I think belly landings will be devastating to the plane if it's light too. I will cut it ou for smaller printers. The plastic budget is 200-300 g.

I don't know if the nose is long enough. 3D printed planes tend to need longer noses because of the heavier material. That's easy to change when I find out. It has room for 8 cell NiMh 1100 mAh or small lipos. 28mm outruners wil be hard to fit in the nose without the wires rubbing on the can, but it's not made for that.

I have a request for the wing, not sure if it is possible, but... If you are going to use a carbon spar, it would be very nice if it would sit inside the wing instead of on the bottom.. So that it is hidden by the skin of the plane..

Here's the finished fuselage so far. There are probably problems that need to be fixed, as usual with fresh designs that haven't been printed, but it's done. There's a channel for a 1,2 mm wire to the elevator in the fuselage. There's a reinforced battery bed in the main compartment. I think it will work well. All fuselage joints have lips for extra glue adhesion. There are two cooling inlets by the motor and two exhaust in front of the 9g elevator servo.

Maybe I will add a hatch on top of the nose for easy battery replacement so that the wing doesn't have to be removed.

The wing is also done. The slicer tells me it will weigh about 100 g in plastic, which is great. There are bays for two servos under the wing. Either 20x20x9 mm sub micro servos or 24x24x8 mm thin wing servos. I have some Turnigy digital sub micro servos that I like to use in small things.
